About Us
Situated in the heart of the Namib Desert, some 300 kilometres
south west of Windhoek and bordered on three sides by the
Namib Naukluft Park, Weltevrede Guest Farm is the home of
abundant wildlife and gateway to the famed Sossusvlei dunes
and Sesriem Canyon.
Nestled amidst a spectacular mix of rugged mountains, shifting
dunes, harsh gravel plains, dusty prehistoric river beds and
endless Camel-thorn trees (Acacia Erioloba), you'll find
Weltevrede a welcome oasis of friendly hospitality at the end of
your adventuresome day.
Conservation

Active wildlife conservation is being practiced by
the current owners since 1994. Numerous man-
made waterholes have been established, some
requiring daily manual filling.
There are more than a thousand Springbuck on
the farm. Regular Cheetah sightings have been
recorded the last few years. Other species to be
seen are Giraffes, Jackal, Leopard, Mountain
Zebra, Ground Squirrels, Kudu, Gemsbok(Oryx),
Ostriches, various bird- and insect species.
Birdwatching
Weltevrede’s vastness and
natural features provide an
excellent backdrop for
creative photography.
Weltevrede is home to at
least 60 known bird-
species. Exclusively one
can witness the behaviour
of the Namaqua
Sandgrouse in the
mornings from one’s porch
outside the rooms at
Weltevrede.
Sustainability
We attempt to be
sustainable as much as
possible. We have
implemented some use
solar power, solar lights,
energy saving bulbs and
day-night switch lights.
We also have a compost
heap and recycle as much
as possible. Basin &
shower water is re-used to
water plants. We are
preparing a garden patch
to plant our own
vegetables and herbs like
we used to.
Community
We support regional police
sport codes through
donations. We support,
where possible, the
regional health care by
assisting with accident
victims until medical
assistance arrives.
Nature conservation staff
is assisted with
maintenance of bore holes
& water is supplied in
emergencies. Assistance
is also provided with
tracking of animals & anti-
poaching. Vultures
Namibia is sponsored
during their annual vulture
survey & ringing of chicks.
Staff
We have a very happy and
friendly set of staff. All
staff members live on the
premises with their
respective families and
have been here for several
years. Our staff & their
families are given the
opportunity to receive
training by us in several
fields like cooking,
tourism, decorating,
clothes making, knitting,
human relations, etc. We
support their children in
completing their
education.
